Iceland

About this book

"Alone in the middle of the North Atlantic, Iceland is a world unto itself. It is a land co-existing with the ocean, a country of enchanting nature and dramatic contrasts--volcanoes, glaciers, lakes and waterfalls. Iceland is more than twice the size of Denmark and the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Permanently settled by Nordic people only 1,100 years ago, Iceland has developed a unique society and philosophy of life, while preserving the language and culture of its early days." -- Page [4] cover.
